🕒 The 'Past Action' Pattern
When we talk about things that already happened, we usually add -ed to the action word. Look at how these change:
- Change Changed
- Play Played
- Rest Rested
The 'Not' Rule (Negative Past) If something did not happen, we use did not + the simple word (no -ed).
- Correct: They did not play.
- Wrong: They did not played.
